(written by S.S. based on P.J.) The year is divided into 4 quarters: 1) seegwun (spring) or the sap season, 2) neebin (summer) or the abundant season, 3) tuhgwuhgin (autumn) or the fading season 4) peboon (winter) or cold freezing weather. The moons are as follows: Keche Munedoo Keezia - the Great Spirit moon - January Nuhmabene Keezis - the mullet fish moon - February Neke Keezia - the wild goose moon - March Omuh Kuhkee Keezia - the frog moon - April Wahbegwunee keezis - blooming moon - May Odaemin keezia - strawberry moon - June Mesquemene keezis - red raspberry moon - July Meen keezis - huckleberry moon - August Ahtabuhgag keezis - fading leaf moon - September Penagqueewene keezis - falling leaf moon -October Kuhshkuhdene keezis - freezing moon - November Munedoo keezis - Spirit moon - December Devotional (by R. Odendahl) And He said "Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." And as St. Paul wrote to the Corinthians, "I came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom. My preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God." This means that the Christian Faith is not concerned with human wisdom, but with the simple receptiveness of a child. The poor, the illiterate, the oppressed, may find the power and the peace of God as abundantly as the wise and the rich, and find it more easily through their simple faith than can the sophisticated, who test by men's standards. The unsophisticated can worship God in the beauty of a rose. The scientist is likely to ask WHY its colour, its fragrance and its shape appeal to him, so he examines pieces of it under a microscope, and with chemicals analyses the oils that produce the smell. When he has finished he still does not know WHY its beauty appeals to him, but he has destroyed the flower. He is no nearer to the truth he sought, but now he has lost the beauty he had at the beginning. If we accept God's revelation in childlike faith and respond to Him, we already are in the kingdom of heaven. If we criticise, analyse, debate and look for demonstrable proof, we lose everything and are left with only broken fragments.
